Aubrey Long, LCSW

Aubrey Long is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana. She draws on three years of clinical experience to help people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, grief, and parenting stresses. Aubrey aims to make sessions down-to-earth and approachable for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.

She blends several practical methods in sessions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), client-centered approaches, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness. Conversations focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Humor and straightforward talk are used when it helps lift the pressure of hard topics.

Aubrey has particular experience with child welfare and foster care situations and can help people who are navigating life during or after involvement with those systems. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and family stress, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. She listens for strengths to build on and obstacles to reduce.

In the first session she and the person will review goals and current concerns, then map out practical next steps. The therapist describes the client as being in the driver’s seat while she helps navigate options and techniques. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person needs.

People may choose Aubrey when they want clear, evidence-informed tools combined with a warm, human approach. Her work aims to help people find manageable ways to cope and move forward from difficult situations.

How Aubrey Uses Therapeutic Tools Online

Aubrey often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to change mood and reactions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and everyday stressors.

She also works with acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT can help with chronic pain, grief, and life changes by emphasizing what matters most rather than getting stuck on symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Aubrey will talk with each person about goals, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. She helps people pick methods that match their needs and preferences instead of a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use tools in real time throughout the week.
